THE TWO SIDES. Belnf Some Interesting Obser vatlons by Reporter on the Views Different People Take of Life-The Brlht Side and the Gloomy. Rock Hill Herald. There is a lot of truth in the old adage that there is a bright side to everything it we could only see it or would look for it instead of looking on the dark side. And the old saying to the effect that there is a silvery lin ing to every dark cloud, is equal ly true. Yet it is strange indeed how different people will look at the same thing with identically the same surroundings andun der the same; circumstances and view it altogether in different lights. The Herald reporter was meandering down Main street the other morning looking and listening for something to write about. Meeting' citizen A, the man in search of news inquired how he was feeling, "First rate," was the reply, "this cool air is bracing and makes a . fellow feel good. Yes sir, everything is al right this morning." The re porter passed on and a little far ther down the street he met Mr, B.. "Good morning sir, how are you this hne morning?'- The reply was something like this "Q, I am not feeling good. This cold weather here the last of April is all out of season and makes a fellow feel bad and gives him the Diues." The next man the reporter met was Mr. C, a farmer, who had come in from the country that morn ing, and be . naturally . inquired how farm work and everything was progressing in the country. "Good enough, was the reply, "the weather is a little cool, for this time of the year and the farmers will be a little late planting part of their crop, . but I am looking for some warm weather pretty soon and then crops will come up and grow off faster than" if the seed had been put in the ground earlier. am looking for .very good crops - to 1 be made this years, notwithstanding the backward Spring." The newspaper man was getting: interested by this time and moving on he tan up on rarnier; 1) and asked him about the times in the country, the prospects'for a good crop, etc. "Well." said be."everythine is very gloomy at (his time. : The late frost killed everything : that was up and the weather contin ues so cold that, nothing is com ing up that has been planted and we may have to plant, over. There is a lot of planting to do yet alsorand it is getting so late that ' it 'will . be impossible to make even , an I average, crop. Yes, the prospects for a good crop are rather poor at this time. And so it is in all walks of life. Step into jone man's store and the proprietor will tell you that business is not as goqd it ought to be and the outlook t for the future ' is- not promising. His competitor across the street will taker an 'entirely ' different yiew.bf the situation. .'-He will tell you.tbat.his sales are fairly good ot better than he had antic ipated,: taking everything into Consideration, and that be is looking forward to better times. Such is life. One man takes Courage and is hopeful under the same circumstances that causes another man to almost give up i n despair.-1 We all see the same things. . The only- - difference is that we look: on 'different sides of themv and see through differ ent orbs. . . . :' 4 I. . ' . The Oaaett tor flrat-claa- printing. BEEN GREET PLAYERS.

Justice to my fellow citizens who - have been so kind to tne for the past ,' three years demands that -1' express to them in a public way my sincere eratitude. They were all so 'chari table to me when I was passinjr through my darkest hours in the fall and winter of 1905, after my jrieat sorrow, that I can never forget them. And to my fellow officers with whom nave labored I - want, to saV that they have tried to jfive to our town eood, honest service,- and it ' gives me much pleasure to be able to say , ' that our relations haye all been pleasant. Looking , back over the past three years of my service I can recall no unpleasantness between " any of the members of . the board. ' The work has been pleasant, althnujth at times arduous. We have all made mistakes, and I am sorry this has to be true of human beinjts, but -hope -that the present board will profit by " them, and may our old town move forward with mow rapid strides than ever before. Deal kindly 'with the -new officers of your town: they are honest, loyal citizens, and will try to do their duty. Stand by them, and throw the mantle "of clarity, about -them when they err. May we all make this the best town in all the world. ; ..-. . -r i i : - , . , And now a final word. It would ilL become- me to say anything about my own part in the past three year's work. If the service I have render- ed as Clerk and Treasurer for the past two terms will not show for ' itself; if I have not been faithful to my trust, then nothing-1 might say . would help the case. Allow me to ; say one word; 1 tried, under many rnevous disadvantages, to do my t duty.. Yours very truly, , " Bseies MooaB.
